Coins and medals have a long history in militaries around the world. After the end of World War II, challenge coins began to enjoy a rich history in American Military culture. The “challenge” is thought to have begun among American servicemen in the days and months after the end of the war with unit members slamming their coins on a bar or table as a challenge to other unit members to produce their coins. Anyone found not to have his coin had to buy drinks for the other unit members. Consequently, if every member produced their coins, the person who started the challenge would have to buy a round.
Challenge coins have now grown beyond their military roots.
